After Jimmy reported the company's results last year, he invited his partners to come to the stage to deliver speeches.
As the unit that has cooperated with deep space for the longest time, it is reasonable for the representative of "Science Fiction World" to be the first to take the stage to deliver a speech.
Yang Xiao looked very well prepared and walked onto the stage with his head held high and his chest held high with two pages of manuscript.
"Hello everyone, I am Yang Xiao from "Science Fiction World"."
"When I was told that I was required to go on stage to deliver a speech, and it was the first one, I was a little nervous to be honest. After all, everyone here today is a leader in the industry, and they are more qualified than me to go on stage and say a few words. But - "
As we all know, "but" and "but" are followed by what the speaker really wants to say.
"From the time of contact, we may have to be earlier. Before the Deep Space Company was established, I had already seen Jimmy's shrewdness." At this point, Yang Xiao smiled and looked at Jimmy, "Mr. Ji, this is completely a compliment."
Jimmy shrugged and said it didn't matter.
Yang Xiao continued, "I was even worried that Jimmy was a liar. At that time, not long after Yu Dong debuted, we could see his huge potential and pinned the hope of Chinese science fiction on him. In our case In our eyes, Yu Dong at that time was both a rising star and a child who needed our careful care. We were afraid that he would be deceived, so we were very cautious when we first contacted Jimmy."
This passage was not originally funny, but there was a lot of laughter underneath. Probably some people also remembered their initial experience of contacting Jimmy.
Having said this, Yang Xiao stroked the manuscript, "After saying so many bad things about Jimmy, I have to say good things about him. Since Mr. Ji chooses to use data to speak, I will follow the same example and tell everyone. Let’s talk about the data of “Science Fiction World”…”
In the next ten minutes, Yang Xiao listed the data changes of "Science Fiction World" in the past few years. From the lowest number of a few hundred copies in the beginning to now, it has stabilized monthly sales of about 200,000 copies, and it is still slowly increasing. increase.
The highest issue, the first serialized issue of "The Martian", sold 350,000 copies, which is also a historical record for "Science Fiction World".
In addition to the most intuitive data such as sales, the number of manuscripts received by magazines every month is now dozens of times that before. More and more excellent science fiction authors are emerging, and sometimes they even have to bear the pain of giving up. Screen out some good manuscripts.
At the end of his speech, Yang Xiao said: "Finally, let me use this stage to advertise that the 1996 Galaxy Awards will still be held in Chengdu in July. If you are interested, we all welcome it."
After she said this, there was warm applause. Yang Xiao did not finish his speech, but still held the microphone and said, "I can clearly see who among you is applauding. After the annual meeting is over, I’ll go and invite you, haha.”
After saying the last sentence with a smile, Yang Xiao walked off the stage, and the applause became more enthusiastic. It can be seen that her speech this time was very effective.
To sum up, her speech had two core points. First, it showed that their relationship with Deep Space is very good, and their cooperation will become closer and closer in the future. Second, "Science Fiction World" is now booming and has achieved remarkable results.
Everyone understood it, so this warm applause was not only given to Yang Xiao, but also to "Science Fiction World", which has close cooperation with Deep Space and is the leader in the Chinese science fiction community.
After Yang Xiao came down, Zhang Yimou, Zhao Baogang, Spielberg and others also came on stage one after another.
Compared with Yang Xiao's speech, the speeches of these latter people were much more official. On the one hand, they thanked Deep Space for its previous contributions, on the other hand, they looked forward to subsequent cooperation, and then they praised Deep Space Company.
Yu Dong was the last one to take the stage and deliver a speech.
Everyone has to represent something when they take the stage. Yang Xiao represents the "Science Fiction World" magazine, Zhang Yimou represents the film crews of "Alive" and "Soft Knife"...
Yu Dong represents all content creators contracted by Deep Sky.
The word content creator means that their company is now signing not only writers, but also directors, screenwriters, and even actors.
"Hello everyone."
When Yu Dong spoke, the atmosphere was completely different.
As Jimmy said, what these people who came to the annual meeting today want to hear most is his speech.
"I'm Yu Dong." Although everyone knew him, he still introduced himself.
"New Year's Eve, our traditional festival in China, will be in a few days. At such a time, it is very difficult for all of you here to be willing to come and participate in this annual meeting. Not to mention foreign friends, we are separated by vast oceans, high mountains and long roads.
"
Yu Dong smiled and continued, "But I believe that all foreign friends, this trip is worth it, because in front of you, a brand new world will open. Chinese culture and Chinese history will give you
A new experience. And I believe that in the near future, the Chinese market will also impress you."
"China is a country with a population of more than one billion. It is a country with a long history but full of vitality. In such a country, economic construction is very important, and the construction of spiritual civilization is equally important. And I believe that with more than one billion people
Chinese people’s demand for cultural and entertainment products will also grow exponentially in the next few years or more.”
"Perhaps when I say this, you still don't quite understand. Let's take the movie box office as an example. In recent years, the domestic movie market has been in decline, and the box office performance has not been very satisfactory. Only after being stimulated by foreign blockbusters has there been a slight recovery.
Wen. However, the industry is still generally pessimistic and believes that the domestic film market cannot develop at all."
"But I think the domestic movie box office will explode in the near future, and even become as big as the North American box office."

Hearing Yu Dong's words, many people below took a deep breath.
How can the Chinese ticket warehouse compare with the North American ticket warehouse?
Although there are a lot more people, but so far, the box office performance is simply one day at a time.
Let’s not talk about the total box office, let’s just talk about the number of moviegoers. North America now has more than one billion moviegoers every year.
Not to mention, the price difference between the two places is huge.
YU, are you talking big words?
Yu Dong also knew that his words seemed a bit exaggerated to them, but he didn't care and continued: "You can be doubtful, but time will give us the answer. However, if that day really comes, maybe everything will be too late.
.There is an old saying in China, the one who strikes first is the one who gains the upper hand. I am telling you this today because I want to tell you that you may be among those who strike first."
"I suddenly remembered a story. It was said that a shoe factory was preparing to explore overseas markets and sent two salesmen to Africa for a field trip. After the investigation, the two salesmen gave completely opposite replies. The first salesman
Tell the headquarters that no one wears shoes in Africa, so even if the shoes are made, they cannot be sold. The second salesman tells the headquarters that the market prospects in Africa are very good because no one wears shoes. As long as the shoes are made, there will definitely be people.
purchase."
"This story may be fictional, but I think everyone knows the truth. Whether Africans will buy shoes depends on two points. First, whether they need shoes, and second, whether they can afford shoes. I think
, as long as you understand these two questions, everything will fall into place."
At the end, Yu Dong smiled and said, "Maybe I stole Jimmy's job. I think it would be much more exciting if he shared this case with everyone. I don't know much about business matters, but I know a little. When I
Walking on the streets of China, you can see people working hard and living hard and their desire for spiritual entertainment."
After Yu Dong finished speaking, Jimmy was the first to applaud. This guy looked at Yu Dong with great relief, thinking in his heart: Good guy, he is getting better and better at deceiving.
Yes, in Jimmy's opinion, what Yu Dong said is just deception. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the effect is definitely achieved. After this speech, Lucas and the others will definitely focus on the Chinese market to some extent.
.
Even if they think Yu Dong is talking big words, so what? If you can’t talk big words and don’t know how to draw cakes, then why do you have a career?
In fact, Yu Dong hopes that China will become a major entertainment export country, not just a major entertainment demand country.
But in today's situation, talking about output is just for self-entertainment, talking about demand is what those foreigners want to hear.
After Yu Dong stepped down, Jimmy came back on stage and said with a smile, "I am looking forward to the day that Yu Dong said that our deep space company will gradually increase its work in China. Of course, in the next year,
, our work centers are still in North America and Europe, and the company now has several on hand..."
Jimmy began to talk about Deep Space Company's plans for the next year. In addition to a few movies, there are also the creation of some cultural products. At the same time, the company will also add some book publishing next year.
In addition, Jimmy also briefly mentioned the short film contest held by Deep Space in the first half of the year, which can be considered as some publicity for this short film contest.
Jimmy's report was quite detailed, but Spielberg and Lucas in the audience were still a little disappointed because they didn't hear what they wanted to hear.
In the morning, they learned from Yu Dong that Jimmy had been paying attention to IMAX a few days ago. Naturally, they wanted to hear Jimmy talk about this matter, but they didn't hear Jimmy mention it after listening for a long time.
During the lottery session later, Lucas and the others didn't care to listen.
When the lottery was over and the annual meeting came to an end, Lucas and Spielberg went to find Jimmy.
Being stopped by these two people, Jimmy was a little confused, "What are you two doing?"
Spielberg smiled and said, "Jimmy, we have a question for you. Are you paying more attention to IMAX recently?"
"How do you know?" Jimmy made a surprised expression, "I didn't publicize it."
"We overheard it." Lucas said carelessly, "What do you think of 3D movies?"
Jimmy smiled and took their arms, "Boys, is it time to talk about this now? Let's talk about work later. Let's have a good drink tonight. I think the Chinese liquor has been given to you."
Are you impressed?"
When they heard that they wanted to drink, the two waved their hands repeatedly. The scene of drinking last night was still vivid in their minds, and they were both a little scared.
But there was nothing left for them to do, so Jimmy pulled them directly towards the restaurant.
…
Speaking of drinking, everyone needs to be more restrained tonight, because many people will be on their way back tomorrow. Most of the time, they are chatting with glasses of wine in their hands.
Jimmy kept telling Lucas and others that they would not talk about work tonight, but he talked about a lot of work himself. He browsed through several magazines such as "Science Fiction World" and "Science Fiction King".
He also chatted with several publishing house representatives present about their publishing plans for next year.
Especially Huang Jie, the representative of Sichuan and Sichuan People's Publishing House, he has been in contact with Shen Kong relatively early. He had met Yu Dong before when he went to participate in the book expo.
Later, the full-length science fiction novels under Deep Space were basically left to them.
Jimmy told Huang Jie that their publishing house will have a heavy task next year because there are many publishing plans in deep space, including several novels and some short story collections.
In addition, the two novels "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Harry Potter" are also prepared to be handed over to them.
After making arrangements for book publishing, Jimmy went to communicate with several directors and talked about some possible plans for next year, including movies and TV series.
It's just that these plans have not yet taken shape, and there is no clue at the moment.
Finally, Jimmy ran to find the young actors.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The first person to look for is Ning Jing.
Seeing Jimmy coming over, Ning Jing asked with a smile, "Brother Ji, what do you want from me?"
"Jingjing, have you ever thought about finding an agent?"
"Agent?" Ning Jing touched her head, a little confused.
In fact, there are already agents in the domestic entertainment industry, but people still don’t know much about professional agents. Most of today’s actors work within the system.
Jimmy nodded, "Yes, agent, just like my relationship with your brother-in-law."
"Okay, Brother Ji, you can also be my agent." Ning Jing said very simply.
This straightforward attitude caught Jimmy off guard. He stared at Ning Jing, wondering if this girl was really easy to fool, or if she had already made up her mind.
But no matter what, if you are willing to sign, everything will be easy to handle.
"Okay, I'll have someone draw up a contract for you to look at later."
After settling Ning Jing, Jimmy went to chat with several other young actors, but he did not directly mention signing with a talent agency.
Jimmy wants to take the elite route, not too many people, but mainly high quality.
Those young actors, such as Li Yu and Li Bingbing, can't see anything yet, and it's too early to talk about signing contracts.
On the other side, Yu Dong saw Jimmy chatting with Li Yu and the others, and he probably knew what Jimmy wanted to do. But he couldn't care about Jimmy's affairs at the moment, because Schumacher came to him again to reply.
Yesterday, Schumacher asked if he was willing to co-produce "Sniper Phone Booth". At that time, Yu Dong told him that he would get back to him this morning, but Yu Dong had been chatting with Spielberg and others all morning and forgot to ask Schumacher.
"YU, what are you thinking about?" Schumacher held a large wine glass filled with white wine, suggesting that if Yu Dong didn't agree, he would have a drinking contest with Yu Dong.
